I’m not sure when I’ll be able to stop replaying this one. This is one of those songs that I made the decision to post halfway through Red’s verse. If you’d told me that in 2009, Reggie and Clifford would be making tracks with Jeezy ad-libs and auto-tune, I’d have sold my copy of Muddy Waters back to the Wherehouse.* But this is just absurdly good. According to Def Jam’s website, Blackout 2 is slated to drop April 28. Maybe we should all start writing letters to Lyor Cohen now.
In the interim, you should re-evaluate the first Blackout, a sorely underrated effort. Moldering in the Stylus archives lies this excellent exegesis from Barry “Disco Vietnam” Schwartz. Read, download, smoke, etc.
*That’s completely a lie, you’d have to pry that shit from my cold, sativa-stained claws.
